I spend my American Dollars in casinos many times during the year. Pechanga Casino showed disrespect for American Veteran Motorcyclists on Veterans Day when They told them to leave, or be arrested. If you do not want American Veteran Motorcyclists in your casino, then you will not longer see any of my American dollars. I will do my best to spread this message far and wide to all of the motorcyclists that I am in contact with.

Hi Gill,
I contacted CBS News, NBC News, and ABC News regarding Pechanga's treatment
of the Vietnam Vets. This was done by filling out a form online. Here is
what the form said:
Several Vietnam Veterans went to Pechanga Casino today on their motorcycles
for the advertised event "Vets Eat Free" at the buffet. They called in
advance to make sure they could wear their Vietnam Vet patches on their
vests and were given approval.
Security pulled them out of line and told them to leave. They did not want
bikers" at the buffet and they would be arrested for trespassing. The vets
explained that they had called in advance. Security allowed them to eat,
with a guard present, and then made them leave the casino premises.
I think this is a shameful way to treat our vets and should be looked into
further. I BELIEVE THE TREATMENT OF THESE VETS WAS UNAMERICAN. You can
call Gill Mellen for more info. His number is 949-632-9787. Thanks.
In addition, I had email addresses for several reporters from a previous
project. I sent them a separate email, of which I copied you. I also filled
out a form online with Pechanga Casino with the same info.
Attached are the names and contact for several newspapers in that area and
information for the Pechanga Band of Indians, which is the tribe that
overseas the casino. I think it would be a good idea if all the members
sent letters to the editor and letters to both the casino and the tribe
regarding the poor treatment. It should be done quickly.
Let me know your thoughts. MJ
